KJV

Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.

Commentary

Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred,.... 14,700. Thus what t hey were threatened with, that their carcasses should fall in the wilderness, Num 14:29 , was more and more fulfilled: beside them that died about the matter of Korah; these are not taken into the number here, even the two hundred fifty men of Korah's company, and the families of Dathan and Abiram, Num 16:32 ; how many they were is not certain, but they were but few in comparison of these.
